Have
you ever noticed in the Bible, that Jesus requires the person to act
before they can be healed? What about the cripple at the Pool of
Beersheba, the beggar who had been a cripple for 38 years was told
to pick his mat up and walk. And he did it. He had been a cripple for
38 yrs, and he simply obeyed an order to get up and start walking,
after not being able to walk for 38 yrs! It requires real simple like
faith to just trust in God like that. (Read the full story in John 5)
Mark 10: 13-16 People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Sometimes, we don't need answers, we just need to trust in the Lord our God. Its hard, yes, but if the kingdom of heaven belongs to little children, why shouldn't we become like little children in our faith?
Luke 18: 17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.
Mathew 11:25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Just want to share a funny story with you. I was lying on mums bed yesterday, and Tahlia was starting to clean up all the mess she had made while playing. Deciding that she needed her big sisters help, she marched up to me with her hands on her hips. All of a sudden comes out “If you love God, you have got to help me pack up”. That puts a new twist on things doesn't it.
